Time Pool

This spell allows the caster to cause a mirror, a pool of water, or any other reflective surface to reveal a specific event from the past. The image provides a perfectly clear picture with normal sounds, as if the caster were present at the scene. The image continues for the duration of the spell.

Time pool will not reveal images from other planes of existence. The spell's success is not automatic. The caster must know the general nature of the event he wishes to view (i.e., "Show me the murder of King Thamak"). The caster's base chance of viewing the desired scene is 50%, modified as follows, to a maximum of 90%:

• Add 5% for each point of the caster's Wisdom above 15.

Add 20% if the caster has successfully used time pool to observe the same event before.

Only one of the following may apply:

Add 20% if the event is one in which the caster participated.

Add 10% if the caster is well informed about the event.

Add 5% if the caster is slightly informed about the event.

The caster cannot communicate or otherwise interact with the image. Spells cannot be cast into the time pool.
